Battle of Macki

The Battle of Macki occurred in December of 1197 when the forces of King Andrew II of Hungary and Duke Leopold of Styria defeated the army of King Emeric of Hungary in a pitched battle in Slavonia (present-day Slovenia). Andrew lost his inheritance, the Principality of Halych, and King Emeric refused to give him any more titles; as a result, he came to his cousin Leopold of Styria and asked him for his support. Leopold and Andrew rode to Hungary at the head of their forces and defeated King Emeric, and in early 1198 King Emeric was forced to grant Croatia and Dalmatia to Andrew as a result.
